Poverty Creek — Sonja Heisinger

In Gold Rush California, a civil war is raging… between two people. The Southern Mines, 1849––After conquering the jungles of Panama, Lucius Flynn and Evelyn Brennan set sail for the Land of Dreams, but they couldn't be more at odds. Determined to make a fortune and put an end to their arranged marriage once and for all, they join a company of ragtag prospectors and embark on the dangerous road to Prosperity, a boomtown in the Sierra Nevada foothills. Surrounded by intriguing new friends and golden opportunities, the Wild West just might bring Lucius and Evelyn together… until Nell Watson arrives. Charming and seductive, the famous dancer sets her sights on Lucius, while Evelyn becomes more and more entangled with a married man.  In Poverty Creek, vigilantes, cowboys, and hopeless romantics converge in a world where lawlessness and drudgery disguise themselves as freedom and grandeur. Where beauty is treacherous, and dreams are fallible.
